Conventional discussions of state power have tended to list a state's resources or capabilities for power in a straightforward and unambiguousway. True, the caveat is offered that there is a difference between potential and actual power, but the difference is usually spelled out in terms either of problems of modernization (seen itself as a technique of transforming capabilities) or in terms of the will and skill of the state under discussion.1 But in a world of highly interdependent political economies, this utilization gapdepends not only on the conditions that create and sustain the state's ability tocontrol its own resources, but also on the conditions that determine 1) theaccess of others to these capabilities, and 2) the access of the state to theresources of other states. For what purposes and in what situations are astate's resources usable by it? In what situations can the state be a gatekeeper with respect to the access by others to its resources? The answers to thesequestions determine, in part, whether potential becomes actual (relative)power in present or future state-to-state relations. It is to this neglecteddimension of power that this paper is devoted.

The increase in the productivity of dairy cows significantly depends on the qualitative selection, evaluation and intensive use of procreator bulls with breeding value both for milk production and exteriors. The proper selection of bull for reproduction the herd is an important and responsible measure as the heredity of the procreators in the genetic improvement of breeds is extremely high, especially at the present stage of breeding. The aim of the research was to determine the level of influence of father's origin on dairy productivity, exterior and reproductive capacity of Ukrainian Red dairy cows in the conditions of the Central region. Materials and methods. The research was carried out on the basis of zootechnical records in a herd breeding plant for the breeding of the Ukrainian Red dairy breeds of cattle of the State Enterprise of Experimental Household «Elitne» of the Kirovograd SAES NAAS. The analysis involves the materials of the formed electronic database on indicators of milk productivity, reproductive capacity and structure of the body of cows for the year 2015. Estimation of the exterior type of cows was conducted using the linear classification method at the age of 2–4 months after calving in two systems - 9-ball, with a linear description of 18 articles of the exterior and 100-point classification system, taking into account four sets of breeding grounds, which characterize: the severity of the dairy type, the development of the body, the state of the limbs and the morphological qualities of the udder. In the exterior, the half-sisters groups of 6 bulls with a population of 28 to 118 cows were compared. The force of origin's influence on the father was calculated by one-factor dispersion analysis. The calculations were carried out using the methods of mathematical statistics using the software package "STATISTICA-6.1". Results of the research. By comparison of group average, a significant level of differentiation of the bulls in the herd of the breeder is determined by the characteristics of their daughters. By the age of the first calving, the difference between the best and worst half-sistesr groups reached 283 ± 148,9 days or 36,5 %, with a reproduction rate of 0,181 ± 0,180 or 21,0%, for the livelihood of 305 days of first lactation – 2890 ± 959 kg оr 78,3% (P < 0,01), the second one was 2112 ± 926 kg or 40,9% (P < 0,05), the third group was 113 ± 521 kg or 18,4% (P < 0,05). In terms of the content of fat in milk, the intergroup difference was 0,38 ± 0,294% (td = 1,29) for the first, 0.64 ± 0,155% (td = 1,62) for the second and 0,44 ± 0,311% (td = 2,03) – for the third lactation, for protein content – the difference was insignificant. Among the daughters of the studied protectors, the highest tastes for the first lactation were characterized by daughters of Tsvitka 435, Roman Reda 86883, Diplomat 401497. For the second and third Rainer 23685, Tsvitka 435, Hens Reda 398624, below all lactations of the Vendian 67955 and Cup 405. Noticed, Cvitok 435, holsteinized bull of intrarenal type of Ukrainian Red dairy breed, for the dignity of its daughters, exceeded all Holstein breeders, used in the herd. Summarized, according to the results of the classification of the four complexes exterior signs, the assessment shows the level of expression of the exterior type and suggests that it is best at the daughters of Bensons Hens Red 398624, Jorin 114414759 and Tsvitka 435. Reduce the gap between the actual estimate and the maximum possible, which is respectively 5,5, 5,7 and 6,2 points, possibly due to the quality control of the stock herd by the exteriors in the herds with the selection of procreator-bulls, estimated by the type of daughters. Conclusions. The study of milk productivity and reproductive ability of cows definited the level of differentiation between the groups of half sisters by father. The difference between the groups on separate grounds is 78,3%. At the same time, cows of the Holstein and Holstinizovany In-breed Type (HRD) of Ukrainian Red dairy breeds have a marked advantage over milk yield. The worst manifestation of the features – in animals of the bulls of Angler and Rich-Milkfat In-breed Type (FRD) of Ukrainian Red dairy breeds. Using of linear classification allowed to differentiate sufficiently the bull-producers by the exterior characteristics of the structure of the body and the mummies of their daughters. The high variability of descriptive articles indicates the need for their improvement in a part of the animals of the study population. The influence of the genetic factor of the father's origin on the variability of the considered characteristics ranged from 12 to 36%.

Diseases that cause anemia are very diverse, and therefore it is very difficult to classify anemias according to their etiology, and due to various constitutional and other characteristics of the organism, the same cause can cause different phenomena. It is easier to approach the question of the cause of anemia by determining whether erythropoiesis suffers from this disease or whether there is an increased breakdown of red blood cells. In the body, the state of the blood is composed of two processes: on the one hand, erythropoiesis, on the other hand, the decay of erythrocytes. Demonstrative formula Yerringer'a E R D (Blutmauserung), where E is the number of erythrocytes, P is their production and D ~ destruction. As long as P balances M, the difference E. remains unchanged. If D, that is, hemolysis, increases more than P, then we get a hemolytic type of anemia. If D hemolysis remains unchanged, but P decreases we get an aplastic type of anemia.

Annotation. The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the transformation of professionally important psychophysiological qualities of military pilots who are practically healthy and patients with stage I hypertension. The article highlights the hidden factors that contribute to the performance of a military pilot. These factors make it possible to explain the peculiarities of the mechanisms of organization of working capacity in practically healthy and patients with hypertension and stage I military pilots. Special decision-making rules have been developed, which make it possible to state that even small changes in the state of health that occur during the development of stage I hypertension are appropriately reflected in the level of psychophysiological functions on the basis of which it is possible to distinguish with a probability of 77.5%. The degree of connection between the state of health of military pilots and the level of their psychophysiological characteristics was assessed. Recommendations for taking into account cognitive changes in pilots of patients with stage I hypertension have been developed. It is established that stage I hypertension affects the structure of correlations of psychophysiological functions of the body, which shows the difference in the mechanisms of regulation of these functions in the development of the disease. It is shown that even practically healthy military pilots have different levels of mental capacity and can show their psychophysiological qualities in different ways, especially in extreme conditions. In addition, it was found that hypertension makes about a third of the surveyed sick pilots more active, which, in turn, increases the physiological cost of professional activities, to reduce which requires periodic treatment and prevention and rehabilitation measures.

This paper reconsiders the role of memory in Plotinus' philosophy, in view of the mystical unity (hénosis) of the soul with intelligible truths, and a less desirable unification with its objects of memory during its earthly existence. As a rule, the mystical experience precludes memory, since the latter is related to time and binds a man to his individuality. Nevertheless, the capacity to remember remains an important part of the philosophical áskesis leading to this experience, since the memory is the only faculty of the soul that is able to travel through time, even though it is part of the process of discursive thinking and consequently is in a way imprisoned in time. Memory therefore turns out to be a double-edged power, which leaves us to question when we can regard it as an instrument of preserving what is inherent to us, and when, on the other hand, it is simply chaining us to the lower reality of the sensible world. The difference between the anagogical power of the Platonic recollection (anámnesis) and the memory as the state keeping us from unity with the intelligible world is important for identifying the moment when a man must let go of what he has been clinging to. This moment, however, is not set in time, but depends on the moral disposition of a man's soul leading a timeless existence outside, as well as inside, the body.

This study raises the issue of agrarian reform draft under the reign of President Joko Widodo. Agrarian reform became a priority program in the RPJMN of 2015-2019. Based on this matter, the writer analyzes the concept of agrarian reform during the reign of Joko Widodo terms of BAL. The nature of the study was a normative research with statute approach, which was done in four ways, namely descriptive, comparative, evaluative and argumentative. The results showed that the agrarian reform draft during the reign of Joko Widodo is a concept of land stewardship and land reform. The economic system leads to a form of capitalism. It is necessary to conduct refinement of content and material of BAL implementation in order to achieve the justice and the welfare of the nation and the State. The agrarian reform program should be carried out in stages in order to obtain the desired results. It requires the will, ability and active involvement of all elements of the state.

No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, this book challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues against the normalization of markets in bodily services and parts. The book explores the risks associated with metaphors of property and the reasons why the commodification of the body remains problematic. The book asks what is wrong with thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? What, if anything, is the difference between markets in sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other markets we commonly applaud? The book contends that body markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in some way, a feature of all labor markets. But it also emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to the common experience of living as embodied beings in the same world. Examining the complex issue of body exceptionalism, the book demonstrates that treating the body as property makes human equality harder to comprehend.

Abstract The paper attempts to determine an optimum structure of a directional measurement and control network intended for investigating horizontal displacements. For this purpose it uses the notion of entropy as a logarithmical measure of probability of the state of a particular observation system. An optimum number of observations results from the difference of the entropy of the vector of parameters ΔHX̂ (x)corresponding to one extra observation. An increment of entropy interpreted as an increment of the amount of information about the state of the system determines the adoption or rejection of another extra observation to be carried out.

The “disconnect” between the body of knowledge acquired in classroom settings and the application of this knowledge in clinical practice is one of the main reasons for professional fear, anxiety and feelings of incompetence among freshly graduated nurses. While the phenomenon of the theory-to-practice gap has been researched quite extensively in high-income country settings much less is known about nursing students’ experiences in a developing country context. To rectify this shortcoming, the qualitative study investigated the experiences of nursing students in their attempt to apply what they learn in classrooms in clinical learning contexts in seven sites in Nigeria. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse data gained from eight focus group discussions (n = 80) with the students. The findings reveal a multifaceted theory-practice gap which plays out along four tensions: (1) procedural, i.e. the difference between practices from education institutions and the ones enacted in clinical wards – and contradictions that emerge even within one clinical setting; (2) political, i.e. conflicts that arise between students and clinical staff, especially personnel with a lower qualification profile than the degree that students pursue; (3) material, i.e. the disconnect between contemporary instruments and equipment available in schools and the lack thereof in clinical settings; and (4) temporal, i.e. restricted opportunities for supervised practice owing to time constraints in clinical settings in which education tends to be undervalued. Many of these aspects are linked to and aggravated by infrastructural limitations, which are typical for the setting of a developing country. Nursing students need to be prepared regarding how to deal with the identified procedural, political, material and temporal tensions before and while being immersed in clinical practice, and, in so doing, they need to be supported by educationally better qualified clinical staff.
